Sensory Daily Holistic Homeschool Guiding Principles

We view play not as a break from learning or productivity, but as a vital expression of intelligence. Sensory play engages the brain, body, and spirit in harmony, fostering balance and creativity.

True Learning happens when the body is involved. Our experiences engage the senses to anchor memory, stimulate cognition, and enhance physical and emotional regulation-especially for children and neurodiverse individuals.

We create tools and experiences that invite people to slow down, notice, and savor. This promotes mindfulness, reduces stress, and encourages presense - keys to deeper relationships with ourselves and others. 

Our materials are inspired by or derived from the natural world. Nature offers a sensory richness and harmony that fosters calm, curiosity, and stewardship.

Every body senses differently. We honor neurodiversity, sensory sensitivities, and different modes of engagement. Our products are designed to be adaptive, inclusive, and responsive to a range of sensory needs. 

Just as we aim to nourish the senses, we also care about the planet. Our sourcing and production uses eco-friendly, non-toxic materials and low-waste principles. We consider the whole lifecycle of what we create. 

We partner with schools to create spaces where movement, texture, color, sound, and scent support learning. Sensory integration enhances attention, memory, self-regulation, and engagement-especially in early years.

Every brain is different. Our tools and approaches honor a range of sensory thresholds and processing styles, offering calming, alerting. and regulating inputs to meet individual needs in mainstream and special education classrooms.

We support educators in using open-ended, sensory materials to foster creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and fine/gross motor skills. Sensory play supports both academic and social-emotional learning.

Children cannot learn when dysregulated. Sensory play suppports emotional resilience and gives students tools to self-soothe, center themselves, and come back to a state of readiness for learning.

We integrate natural materials and outdoor sensory experiences to bring ryhthm, calm, and connection to the school day-cultivating stewardship, mindfulness, and real-world learning.
